Chrome DevTools MCP Setup (Windows)

Overview

This skill provides the complete workflow to launch Google Chrome on Windows with remote debugging enabled, allowing the chrome-devtools MCP to control the browser for automation tasks.

Uses a dedicated CDP profile at C:\Users\steph\AppData\Local\ChromeCDPProfile - separate from your main Chrome, keeping them independent.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• The chrome-devtools MCP shows "failed" or "connection closed" status
• You need to start browser automation tasks
• Chrome needs to be launched with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) enabled
• Setting up fresh Chrome DevTools integration
